This ranges to fewer hours in Grades 1-3 due to pressure and weather availability and more in Grade 4\/5. Awards range in hours from 1-80 hours in total.<\/p>\n<h2>Instrumentation availability<\/h2>\n<p>All instrumentation are expected to be available thought the observing period with a caveat that `\u0100weoweo may only be available from March. Therefore please provide HARP time estimates for targets accessible early in the semester for requests submitted using `\u0100weoweo.<\/p>\n<h2>24A RA Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Proposers might be interested to note the proposal pressure in terms of RA and DEC. The figure below shows the distribution of target RA proposed in the past under Semester A. When allocating time the TAC is mindful to ensure that time is awarded across a range of RAs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/heat_a.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12943 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/heat_a.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/heat_a.png 573w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/heat_a-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/heat_a-150x105.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Weather<\/h2>\n<p>Proposers should also be mindful of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eaobservatory.org\/jcmt\/observing\/weather-bands\/\">historical fraction of time in each weather Grade<\/a>\u00a0in particular noting the wide variation in ours per weather Grade obtained in any one semester.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Expanding Partner Program<\/h2>\n<p>PIs from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Brazil and Argentina are welcome to apply for a limited amount of time (&lt;5 hours per program this time constraint is not limited in Grade 5 time)\u00a0under the \u201cExpanding Partner Program\u201d \u2013 a program to encourage astronomers from new JCMT partners to make use of the JCMT.<\/p>\n<p><i>*** <\/i><em>Completion of any science program awarded time is not guaranteed.
